The pressure cooker environment of a professional kitchen is famous for either housing or creating some often-too-hot-to-handle personalities (see: any Gordon Ramsey show). But lifestyle mogul Martha Stewart and humanitarian chef José Andrés are planning to (lovingly) break some egos with the new NBC cooking competition series “Yes, Chef!” Through humor, tough love, and tests of both skill and resolve, 12 chef nominees will compete in a culinary trial that will help temper their tempers and soften their sharp edges. The new series will premiere Monday, April 28 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and will be available to stream the following day on Peacock.

How to watch ‘Yes, Chef!’

Everything you need to know to stream ‘Yes, Chef!’

What time will ‘Yes, Chef!’ air?

“Yes, Chef!” will premiere on NBC on Monday, April 28 at 10 p.m. ET/PT with a new episode weekly on Monday nights. You’ll also be able to stream the show on Peacock the following Tuesday at 3 a.m. ET.

Why do we recommend Sling for watching ‘Yes, Chef!’?

With multiple subscription options and a good selection of channels, Sling is the best bang for your buck to watch “Yes, Chef!” and other NBC series. The live streamer’s Blue plan costs just $46 per month for 43 total channels, offering local broadcast channels including NBC, ABC, and Fox, as well as other news, entertainment, and sports channels like Bravo, MSNBC, NFL Network, and more.

If you’re a new subscriber, you’ll also be able to get 50% off your first month, meaning that you can watch the first four weeks of “Yes, Chef!” and whatever else feeds your appetite for just $23.

Can you watch ‘Yes, Chef!’ for free?

You won’t be able to watch “Yes, Chef!” for free via Sling or Peacock, as neither service has a free trial, but there are other live streaming services, like Hulu Live TV and Fubo, that offer a trial period. The longest trial, however, is only five days, so you’ll only be able to watch the first episode of the series for free before needing to sign up for a monthly plan.

What you need to know about ‘Yes, Chef!’

From Magical Elves, the Emmy Award-winning producers of “Top Chef,” “Yes, Chef!” is a new cooking competition series that puts 12 highly skilled but rebellious chefs nominated by their bosses, co-workers, friends, or family, through the ultimate test of challenges.

Guided by hosts José Andrés and Martha Stewart, the chefs each week will go through a series of intense challenges designed to test their culinary skills, leadership skills, and personal problems, forcing the chefs to grow from the pressure. José and Martha will select the winning team and one chef from either team will be crowned that episode’s Most Valuable Chef, who will be given an important decision to make in a cook-off that will have a significant impact on who gets eliminated that week.

The winner of “Yes, Chef!” will take home the $250,000 grand prize.
